2n
or 2 x n
because if you cut it one time it will be two slices (1 x 2)
it you cut it two times it will be four slices (2 x 2)
''----------------
I am afraid that's not correct. Based on the above for 3 cuts, n=3 and number of slices would be 3x2=6, which is not the correct answer. If the the third cut intersects both the previous cuts at dfifferent points, you would get 7 slices.
And if you make a fourth cut in such a way that it intersects previous cuts at different points, you would get 11 slices. (Now slices may be crumb sized, that is a different matter, but mathematically that is the max slices you could make!!)
In general, maximum number of slices with n cuts would be (n^2 + n + 2)/2

The maximum of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making six cuts?
If you want an even-sized pieces, you can make a 7-slice pizza. Otherwise, the maximum is 22. (.5x^2 + .5x + 1 is the formula to determine the maximum number of slices if you use "x" cuts.)

What is the maximal number of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making six cuts?
twelve
Maximum number of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making 7 cuts?
The Rule for this would be: (n2 + n + 2)/2 so: (72 + 7 + 2)/2 =(49 + 7 + 2)/2 =(58)/2 =29 29 is the answer.

Why do you say that fractions are the numbers that help us to share?
I guess because fractions represent a PART of the whole number. Let's use a pizza for an example: You have a WHOLE pizza that you want to cut and share with your friends. How do you know how many pieces you will need to cut it into? By counting yourself and your friends and then dividing the pizza into that many pieces. Assume you and five friends are sharing ONE pizza; you would cut the pizza into six pieces so each will eat one-sixth of the pizza. In this way, fractions represent the numbers that help us share.
